Six of Seven Lakewood City Councilmembers Endorses Lindquist

Pierce County Prosecutor Lindquist is endorsed by every member of the Lakewood City Council and Deputy Mayor Jason Whalen who said, “Mark has bipartisan support because of his proven record of keeping us safe.”

Lindquist has fought to stop the dumping of violent offenders, especially sex offenders, into Pierce County. He has worked with the city council, the Pierce County Council, and state legislators so that we do not receive more than our “fair share” of offenders released from the Department of Corrections, Western State Hospital, or the Special Commitment Center on McNeil Island.

Lindquist’s leadership has been critical in successfully blocking the release of dangerous offenders into the community.

Additionally, he started an Elder Abuse Unit to better protect vulnerable adults, reduced gang violence dramatically with his Gang Unit, and sued Big Pharma to hold them accountable for their role in the opioid epidemic.

Lindquist is endorsed by Democrats and Republicans, unions and businesses, and other Pierce County public servants such as Puyallup Senator Hans Zeiger and Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards. Former Lakewood Police Chief Bret Farrar and Lindquist worked well together and Lindquist is endorsed by Farrar’s widow, Cindy Salazar.

All seven firefighter unions in Pierce County have also endorsed Lindquist, along with the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association, the Tacoma Education Association, the Pierce County Central Labor Council, and more than 500 other organizations and community leaders.

“Lindquist is the consensus choice for public safety in our community.” Except that Mary Robnett is endorsed by the Pierce County Deputy Sheriffs Guild, the Pierce County Corrections and Sergeants Guild, the Tacoma Police Union, and the Washington State Association of Retired Police Officers. Consensus choice? Guess not. Also, the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association gave a joint endorsement of Robnett and Lindquist, so he doesn’t hold that one solo.

State Auditor Pat McCarthy (D) and former state Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) are also supporting Robnett over Lindquist, as well as former Prosecutor Gerry Horne.

That’s notable because when Horne retired, he supported Lindquist’s appointment to replace him. Now he realizes what a mistake that was and is backing Robnett instead. People are jumping ship from Lindquist.

Is it me, or does he have a freaky look? Like the heat is on for the first time in his life. Like he’s in over his head. Like he’s about to crack.

Many times in the past, The Suburban Times has featured fake news produced at taxpayer expense to give the impression that this guy’s fantastic. The facts tell a different story. I’ve summarized his most concerning ethical blunders here:

Mayor Anderson, our campaign lists the five council members who endorsed Mark by name, and also lists the Deputy Mayor who endorsed Mark, in the blog post on our website pasted below. By listing the members and the Deputy Mayor by name we hope it is clear who endorsed. We did not mean to imply that the Mayor had endorsed as well. Thank you.

Lies travel around the world before the truth can get its pants on. This dishonest headline still appears in reputable news aggregators, and somewhere deep down there’s some oopsie, flimflam comment about “we hope it is clear” when it’s obviously misleading. And spell my name right when you smear me! Pikers!
